Kuantan Project in Malaysia
Project Overview:
Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park is listed as a major project in the national "Belt and Road" planning. Focusing on the strategic positioning put forward by the leaders of China and Malaysia "to build China-Malaysia Qinzhou Industrial Park and Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park into flagship projects of China-Malaysia investment and cooperation, and a model park for China-ASEAN cooperation", as the main body of the park's development, the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park Limited is set up by both Chinese and Malaysian companies, and is responsible for investment, construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure and public facilities in the park. It is responsible for the investment, construction, operation and maintenance of infrastructure and public facilities. MCCIP is the first national industrial park set up by China in Malaysia. The Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park has a planned area of 12 square kilometres and will be constructed in phases. Phase I covers an area of about 6.07 square kilometres and Phase II about 5.93 square kilometres. The functional zoning of the park includes industrial zone, logistics zone, and supporting zone (residential zone and integrated service centre).
Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park is located in Kuantan City, the capital of Pahang State, which is a special economic zone on the east coast of Malaysia. It is about 260 kilometres away from Kuala Lumpur, the capital of Malaysia, and is adjacent to Kuantan Port, which is 40 kilometres away from Kuantan Airport, 25 kilometres away from the city, and it takes only 3 days' voyage from Kuantan Port to Qinzhou Port. Kuantan Port, located in Kuantan, Pahang, Malaysia, is the largest port in the East Coast region, adjacent to the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park, which is a multi-cargo, all-weather port directly facing the South China Sea. In order to support the development of the Malaysia-China Kuantan Industrial Park and to provide excellent port logistics services for the projects in the park, Kuantan Port is currently undergoing upgrading and reconstruction, and at the same time, a new port area is being opened up to build a large-scale, specialised and automated terminal to improve the port's throughput capacity and efficiency. The first phase of the new port area of Kuantan Port is planned to develop 1km of shoreline and build two 150,000-tonne specialised bulk cargo terminals. After the completion of the new deep-water port terminal, the total throughput capacity of the entire port area can reach 52 million tonnes, and the Port of Kuantan will become a major gateway to China and a regional hub for shipping transshipment in the Far East.
